Claude proxy

How to use a Claude-compatible API proxy safely

Claude-compatible clients are powerful, but coding sessions can produce large context and long output. A proxy adds wallet checks, policy limits, and usage visibility.

Route through a controlled endpoint

A Claude-compatible proxy accepts messages-style requests while applying authentication, key policy, and prepaid wallet checks before upstream routing.

Protect long coding sessions

Budget limits and max output caps reduce the chance that a single session consumes too much credit.

Use a dedicated Claude client key
Cap daily spend for early testing
Review logs after large tasks

Audit model and token usage

Request logs let you review which key, model, and token meters created each deduction.

FAQ

Does a Claude proxy need request logs?

Yes. Coding workloads are bursty, so request-level logs are important.

Can prepaid balance stop a runaway session?

It can stop new requests once balance or key budgets are exhausted.
